I've just copied this from [livejournal.com profile] useless_facts - original here.

There is a period in English history, from 1603 to 1714, known as the Stuart times. Puritans during those times named there children after virtues. Some you've heard of, like "Prudence" or "Charity". Others include:

Silence
Helpless
Forsaken
Misericordia
Fight-the-good-fight-of-faith
Sorry-for-sin
Posthuma
Lament
Discipline
Kill-sin
Increase
Faint-not
Desire
Search-the-scriptures
Remember
Seek-wisdom
If-Christ-had-not-died-thou-hadst-been-damned
Safety-on-high

I am quite interested about the issue of the name Ashley. I have always considered Ashley to be a predominately male name - I know couple of (male) Ashleys, and I always think of the Premiership footballer (soccer player) Ashley Cole whenever I hear the name! Is it really that popular a girl's name in the US?

Using the unscientific method of searching on google I found that:

Searching for the name 'Ashley' just in the UK returned, on the first three pages, the name 'Ashley' clearly as a forename in approximately 6 cases, all male. The other results did not mention the gender of the person.

Performing the same search, but excluding domains .uk, I found that the name Ashley appeared as a female name 6 times (twice for the same person, Ashley Judd), definitively, out of three pages, and once as a male name.

So my question is, why is there a difference at all between the designation of Ashley as a male and female name in the UK and the US? And is it that pronounced?

What the hell is wrong with people?

CUT IT OUT you whiners. Don't post if you can't handle opinions. GOT IT?

It's not that freaking hard. I'm getting tired of deleting inflamatory posts because people want to get their feelings hurt over some negative feedback. Deal with it or just go somewhere else. Whiners. I'm doing this zero-tolerance thing. You cause drama, you get banned. Don't get all pissed because you did something to get banned, and then come harass me in my personal journal. It's rude, and stupid, and signifies that you need a serious hobby.

Grrrr.
